Substitute for CR009

[wogster]

We ran out of CR009 (Sulfuric Acid), can you substitute CR005(Acid Demand), and what is the drop ratio?

This is a pool where it must be tested several times per day, while waiting for the CR009 to come in, we could use the CR005, seems to work, but I don't think the drop ratio is the same....

Which test uses that reagent?

CR009 is part of Total Alkalinity, the third step, CR005 is the Acid Demand for PH....

Ah... I see. The reason I'm a little baffled is that down here, its just "R-009". That "CR" kinda threw me. Perhaps that is Taylor's specific Canadian reagents?? I dunno?!

I'm sorry I don't know anything about substitutions but I bet Taylor does.... give 'em a call. Let us know what they say and we'll learn from you!

Heard from Taylor, they say although it is the same chemical, they are different, so can not be interchanged....

Thanks for the update!

Makes sense. Some of the differences are the concentration which wouldn't be appropriate in the tester you have. Did they explain the nomenclature having the "C".... is that the Canadian version??
